I've found some places I am going to try in November (Virginia) and in the first week of January (Tennessee).
I'm particularly wondering what I need to bear in mind specifically for the January hunt. Obviously there'll be less foliage. Should I consider hunting with a modified choke instead of improved cylinder, in case the birds start flushing from further away? Are they more likely to hug creeks in winter than they are in the fall? Anything else about their behavior that stands out as distinct in the winter versus the fall will be appreciated.
No guarantee there'll be snow on the ground in January where we'll be, but it's far enough north that it is entirely possible.
